Frequently Asked Questions:
Why do I need to install a new template?
In August 2017, CPA Canada replaced its C-PEM and PPM offers with the PEG templates. To reflect the changes made by CPA Canada, we have replaced your previous CaseWare C-PEM or CGA template with our new PEG template.
My C-PEM audit files contain a lot of information around the understanding of the entity. How can I access this in my new PEG audit file?
You can import existing engagement data from your previous C-PEM audit file into the new one. Please see the Audit Import instructions above for more details.
What do I do for Review Engagements under the old standards (for year ends BEFORE December 14, 2017)?
The C-PEM 2016 Review template covers the previous standards.
I previously used the Standard version of the C-PEM template. Is there an equivalent option for the PEG templates?
The CaseWare PEG templates take advantage of CaseWare's template technology to prepare an efficient and effective engagement. The templates include full automation; however, for certain automated forms, the original CPA Canada PEG version of the form is included in the document library under the folder Original PEG documents without CaseWare automation.
